Introduction

This project contains auxiliary tables that are used at SBS to generate good German Braille using liblouis.

Documentation

None so far.

Installation

Unpack the the distribution tarball, go to the directory it creates and run

./configure
make
sudo make install

This will add the sbs braille tables to the liblouis installed on the system (/usr/local/share/liblouis/tables).

Alternatively, create the Debian package (see below) and install it with dpkg -i *.deb.

Packaging

To update the version number in tables/sbs-version.utb first run

./autogen.sh && ./configure

Then build a Debian package by running

debuild -us -uc -b -d

This will create a deb file in ../.

To increase the Debian package version edit debian/changelog.

If you do not want to install liblouis locally (which is needed for validating the tables) you can use Docker to isolate the build:

docker build -t sbsdev/braille-tables -f Dockerfile .
docker run --name braille-tables sbsdev/braille-tables
docker cp braille-tables:/usr/src/sbs-braille-tables_1.11.4_all.deb .
docker rm braille-tables
